commit 7f5dcaf1fdf289767a126a0a5cc3ef39b5254b06 upstream.

The unregister path of platform_device is broken. On registration, it
will register all resources with either a parent already set, or
type==IORESOURCE_{IO,MEM}. However, on unregister it will release
everything with type==IORESOURCE_{IO,MEM}, but ignore the others. There
are also cases where resources don't get registered in the first place,
like with devices created by of_platform_populate()*.

Fix the unregister path to be symmetrical with the register path by
checking the parent pointer instead of the type field to decide which
resources to unregister. This is safe because the upshot of the
registration path algorithm is that registered resources have a parent
pointer, and non-registered resources do not.

* It can be argued that of_platform_populate() should be registering
  it's resources, and they argument has some merit. However, there are
  quite a few platforms that end up broken if we try to do that due to
  overlapping resources in the device tree. Until that is fixed, we need
  to solve the immediate problem.

commit 64526370d11ce8868ca495723d595b61e8697fbf upstream.

Currently, devres_get() passes devres_free() the pointer to devres,
but devres_free() should be given with the pointer to resource data.

<title>Fix firmware loader uevent buffer NULL pointer dereference</title>

commit 6f957724b94cb19f5c1c97efd01dd4df8ced323c upstream.

The firmware class uevent function accessed the "fw_priv-&gt;buf" buffer
without the proper locking and testing for NULL.  This is an old bug
(looks like it goes back to 2012 and commit 1244691c73b2: "firmware
loader: introduce firmware_buf"), but for some reason it's triggering
only now in 4.2-rc1.

Shuah Khan is trying to bisect what it is that causes this to trigger
more easily, but in the meantime let's just fix the bug since others are
hitting it too (at least Ingo reports having seen it as well).

commit 15b8d2c41fe5839582029f65c5f7004db451cc2b upstream.

In big endian mode regmap_bulk_read gives incorrect data
for byte reads.

This is because memcpy of a single byte from an address
after full word read gives different results when
endianness differs. ie. we get little-end in LE and big-end in BE.

commit bb34cb6bbd287b57e955bc5cfd42fcde6aaca279 upstream.

bus_find_device_by_name() acquires a device reference which is never
released.  This results in an object leak, which on older kernels
results in failure to release all resources of PCI devices.  libvirt
uses drivers_probe to re-attach devices to the host after assignment
and is therefore a common trigger for this leak.

# cd /sys/bus/pci/
# dmesg -C
# echo 1 &gt; devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs

<title>sysfs: driver core: Fix glue dir race condition by gdp_mutex</title>

<id>afb16d3e8e031b25993df65dfdb92e503f596916</id>
<content type='text'>
commit e4a60d139060975eb956717e4f63ae348d4d8cc5 upstream.

There is a race condition when removing glue directory.
It can be reproduced in following test:

path 1: Add first child device
device_add()
    get_device_parent()
            /*find parent from glue_dirs.list*/
            list_for_each_entry(k, &amp;dev-&gt;class-&gt;p-&gt;glue_dirs.list, entry)
                    if (k-&gt;parent == parent_kobj) {
                            kobj = kobject_get(k);
                            break;
                    }
            ....
            class_dir_create_and_add()

path2: Remove last child device under glue dir
device_del()
    cleanup_device_parent()
            cleanup_glue_dir()
                    kobject_put(glue_dir);

If path2 has been called cleanup_glue_dir(), but not
call kobject_put(glue_dir), the glue dir is still
in parent's kset list. Meanwhile, path1 find the glue
dir from the glue_dirs.list. Path2 may release glue dir
before path1 call kobject_get(). So kernel will report
the warning and bug_on.

This is a "classic" problem we have of a kref in a list
that can be found while the last instance could be removed
at the same time.

This patch reuse gdp_mutex to fix this race condition.

The following calltrace is captured in kernel 3.4, but
the latest kernel still has this bug.

commit e4a60d139060975eb956717e4f63ae348d4d8cc5 upstream.

There is a race condition when removing glue directory.
It can be reproduced in following test:

path 1: Add first child device
device_add()
    get_device_parent()
            /*find parent from glue_dirs.list*/
            list_for_each_entry(k, &amp;dev-&gt;class-&gt;p-&gt;glue_dirs.list, entry)
                    if (k-&gt;parent == parent_kobj) {
                            kobj = kobject_get(k);
                            break;
                    }
            ....
            class_dir_create_and_add()

path2: Remove last child device under glue dir
device_del()
    cleanup_device_parent()
            cleanup_glue_dir()
                    kobject_put(glue_dir);

If path2 has been called cleanup_glue_dir(), but not
call kobject_put(glue_dir), the glue dir is still
in parent's kset list. Meanwhile, path1 find the glue
dir from the glue_dirs.list. Path2 may release glue dir
before path1 call kobject_get(). So kernel will report
the warning and bug_on.

This is a "classic" problem we have of a kref in a list
that can be found while the last instance could be removed
at the same time.

This patch reuse gdp_mutex to fix this race condition.

The following calltrace is captured in kernel 3.4, but
the latest kernel still has this bug.

commit 471b095dfe0d693a8d624cbc716d1ee4d74eb437 upstream.

An empty firmware request name will trigger warnings when building
device names. Make sure this is caught earlier and rejected.

The warning was visible via the test_firmware.ko module interface:

echo -ne "\x00" &gt; /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_firmware/trigger_request

commit 5336be8416a71b5568d2cf54a2f2066abe9f2a53 upstream.

If LOG_DEVICE is defined and map-&gt;dev is NULL it will lead to NULL
pointer dereference. This patch fixes this issue by adding check for
dev-&gt;NULL in all such places in regmap.c

commit 2c98e0c1cc6b8e86f1978286c3d4e0769ee9d733 upstream.

If 'map-&gt;dev' is NULL and there will lead dev_name() to be NULL pointer
dereference. So before dev_name(), we need to have check of the map-&gt;dev
pionter.

We also should make sure that the 'name' pointer shouldn't be NULL for
debugfs_create_dir(). So here using one default "dummy" debugfs name when
the 'name' pointer and 'map-&gt;dev' are both NULL.

commit 5844a8b9d98ec11ce1d77610daacf3f0a0e14715 upstream.

A previous over-zealous factorisation of code means that we only treat
registers as volatile if they are readable. For most devices this is fine
since normally most registers can be read and volatility implies
readability but for format_write() devices where there is no readback from
the hardware and we use volatility to mean simply uncacheability this means
that we end up treating all registers as cacheble.

A bigger refactoring of the code to clarify this is in order but as a fix
make a minimal change and only check readability when checking volatility
if there is no format_write() operation defined for the device.
